Shabby Chic layout - Pure Beauty

Happy Monday (or Sunday for some) dear blog readers!
Did you all have a great weekend? I am still busy planning the USA-tour, all the classes and get everything ready to CHA. I'm so excited, and each week are passing so quickly and I can't believe it's only about an month left to I jump on the plane! Can't wait to meet some of you and to see USA for the very first time, wahoo! :D

Today I wish to share a layout I created last year for the Prima book. It is a shabby chic layout with a picture of my daughter where she is taking a bath, a picture I truly love. And this time I used pinks together with the black and white photo, colors I usually don't use, but I think those colors were perfect for this photo and this romantic and shabby chic style. I used a Prima stitched paper, cut off the rose border on left and placed it on a cardstock. Then added lace over the rose border and between the rest of the stitched paper before adding it on. Then embellished after desire with roses, stamps, note book paper, metals and so on. This layout I called "Pure Beauty", and here it is;

And a some close-ups;

My "special" girl, love these tabs from Melissa Frances. Also melted some white wax on, so fun little detail to add to every kind of project. Some lace and mulberry roses peaking out on the left.

I used a huge old Prima flowers (which I love) as a base for the little title metal frame and label. On the flower I used different stamping and painting techniques to add texture and a personal touch.

OMG!!! Wonderful!!! You have just inspired me so much that I can hardly wait to arrive at home and crop, scrap! :-)I have a paper of this, with the Roses and I will surely scraplift you!!!xox Julia Sáddi
